We are excited to share the newest addition to our fleet – the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral. This state-of-the-art drone is set to transform our environmental monitoring and agricultural management practices by merging the capabilities of an RGB camera with a multispectral camera. This combination enables us to monitor and analyze crop growth and environmental changes with unparalleled precision and data accuracy.
The DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral is compact, portable, and foldable for easy storage. It is equipped with a 20 MP RGB camera and four 5 MP multispectral cameras (green, red, red edge, and near infrared). These features make it an ideal tool for high-precision aerial surveying, crop growth monitoring, environmental monitoring, and natural resource surveys.
The drone also incorporates a built-in sunlight sensor that captures solar irradiance and records it in an image file. This feature facilitates light compensation of image data during 2D reconstruction, leading to more accurate NDVI results and improved accuracy and consistency of data acquired over time.
The Mavic 3 Multispectral comes with an RTK module for centimeter-level positioning. The flight control, camera, and RTK module synchronize in microseconds to accurately capture the location of each camera’s imaging center. This allows the drone to perform high-precision aerial surveying without the need for ground control points.
The Mavic 3 Multispectral offers an ultra-long battery life, with a cruise time of 43 minutes. A single flight can complete mapping operations over an area of 200 hectares, making it an efficient tool for large-scale operations. The drone also features a 100W Battery Charging Hub for high-efficiency fast charging.
In the realm of environmental science, the Mavic 3 Multispectral can be utilized for water enrichment monitoring, forest distribution surveys, and urban green area surveys. Its multispectral imaging capabilities allow for detailed analysis of environmental conditions, contributing to more effective resource management and conservation efforts.
In agriculture, the Mavic 3 Multispectral excels in tasks such as orchard mapping, even on sloped landscapes. It can work in tandem with the DJI Terra or DJI SmartFarm Platform to reconstruct high-resolution orchard maps, automatically identify the number of trees, distinguish trees from other obstacles or objects, and generate three-dimensional operation routes for agricultural drones.
For crop management, the Mavic 3 Multispectral can obtain multi-spectral images of crops for rice fertilization, cotton growth regulation, and potato foliar fertilizer spraying. These images can then be used to generate NDVI and other vegetation indices maps, capturing differences in crop potential and generating prescription maps that allow agricultural drones to execute variable-rate application. This ultimately enables us to reduce costs, increase yield, and protect the environment.
The Mavic 3 Multispectral can also carry out automatic field scouting. The field scout images can be uploaded to the DJI SmartFarm Platform in real time through a 4G network. It can detect abnormalities, such as emergence deficiencies, weed pressure, and crop lodging promptly. It can also conduct intelligent analyses, such as cotton seedling identification and rice production testing, using AI identification for real-time sharing of crop growth information, guidance of agronomic activities, and easy management of 70 hectares of farmland by one person.
With the integration of the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral into our fleet, we are advancing in both environmental science and precision agriculture. This drone’s advanced features and capabilities will allow us to work smarter and see more than ever before. We eagerly anticipate the many ways this technology will enhance our operations and contribute to our mission of sustainable environmental monitoring and efficient agricultural production.
